Application filed January 22, 1914. Serial N 0. 813,782.

To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, EUGENE V. THOMP- soN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county ofMultnomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Money- Changing Machines, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved money changingmachine.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide setting mechanismwhereby coin ejector dogs will be selectively positioned with respect tocoin chambers in a manner to eject one or more coins of the correctdenomination which is due to the purchaser after the amount of purchasehas been de ducted, upon actuation of an operating member or lever.

A further object is to provide means whereby the dogs may be set,without depositing any coin or coins in the chambers, so that uponactuation of the lever a predetermined amount of change comprising coinsof different de ominations, may be delivered.

A further object is to provide individual coin ejector-s whereby anysingle coin of a. given denomination may be withdrawn from the coinchambers.

Further objects of the invention will be more fully described inconnection with the accompanying drawings and will be more particularlypointed out in and by the appended claims.

lln the drawings:Figure 1 is a plan view of the device of my invention.Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3is a vertical sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is asectional view taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a detail detachedview of one of the coin chambers or tubes. Figs. 6, 7 and 8 are detailviews of different forms of coin ejector dogs. Fig. 9 is a sectionalview on 9-9 of Fig. 7 showing the manner in which the ejector dogs aremounted in the selector wheels. Fig. 10 is a developed diagrammaticview. Fig. 11 is an enlarged view of a setting scale.

The device of my invention is mounted in a casing 1 which is shownprovided with coin deposit receivers 2, 3, 4, 5-, 6 and 7, 2

and 5 being for five-cent pieces, 4 and 5 for.

duplication ten-cent pieces, 6 for twenty-five-cent pieces and 7 forfifty-cent pieces. It will be understood that throughout the descriptionof my invention, as shown, I will specifically describe the preciseconstruction illustrated, for coins of a limited denomination, notincluding pennies for instance, and also for coins as issued by theUnited States Government. However, it will be clear that by or additionof parts, like the parts shown, the machine can be adapted for use inconnection with pennies, or in connection with coins as issued by anyother country.

The coin-deposit receivers '12 to T, are shaped to receive the coinsedgewise and they extend into the casing 1, as indicated in Fig. 3, intoregistry with similarly formed necks 8, 9 and 10 of coin holders in theform of chambers or tubes having lower or base portions of cylindricalform, and indicated at 11, 12 and 13, the remaining chambers being ofsimilar construction and indicated at 14 15, and 16. The chamber forhalf dollars is shown in detail in Fig. 5, and it will be seen thatwhile the depositreceiver 7 thereof is in registry with the reduced neck10, it is spaced apart therefrom, as indicated at 17, for passagetherebetween of a main actuator rod 18. guided in an arcuate path byguides 19 located in the ends of the casing 1. The actuator rod 18passes between the coin-deposit receivers and their respective tubes, asregards all of the tubes, for the purpose of acting through the coinsdeposited for the purpose of setting and then operating the mechanismwhich will now be described. The rod 18 is connected with a mainactuating member or handle 20, which projects through the casing 1 andis guided in a slot 21.

A support, preferably in the form of a rod 22, is mounted in the ends ofthe casing 1 and supports a plurality of coin arresters, one for eachcoin tube or chamber, and which are indicated at 23, 24, 26, 27 and 28.The coin arresters are shown triangular in form and are loosely mountedin a pendant manner on said rod so, as to project their forward portionsinto the necks of the coin tubes, as shown in Fig. 3. Thus the arrester96 projects into the neck 8. of tube 11, so as to engage the edge of adime and normally arrest downward movement said coin chamber. Theremaining end of each 'coin arrester is ope ratively arrangedto'actuate'coin selected arms in a manner to advance the same, or ratherthose selected, into a position to be operated by the main actuator rod18.

On a rod 29 I loosely mount a plurality of selected and actuated armsdesignated at 30, 31,32, 33, 34 and 35. Each of said levers, referringmore particularly to the one indicated at 33 in Fig. 3, is provided witha forwardly projecting terminal rod actuating part 36 having a bent orhooked end 37 15,

which is adapted to be thrust into the path of the rod 18 to be actuatedthereby on completion of movement of the rod 18, and which is n9rm a llyout of the path ofthe rod 36. A stop 38, common to all of said arms, mayserve to limit retraction of each. arm to the position shown in Fig. 3,under the action of a retractive spring 39, one of which may be providedfor each arm.

Motion is transmitted from each coin arrester to its respective arm bymeans which may consist of a forked abutment 40,mount-' ed upon a rod41, common to all of the forks, and each fork having an end 42, forengagement'with its arrester and an end 43, for actuation of itsrespective arm. The remaining forks are indicated at 44, 45, 4.6, 47

and 48, and as all are alike the description of one will be sufficient.

It will be clear from the foregoing, and by reference to Fig. 3, thatwhen a coin is arrested and supported by the triangular arrester 26, theweight of the coin will rock the arrester 26 thereby rocking the fork 40in one direction and causing action on the arm 33 to the right of Fig.3, so as to move the end 37 into the path of rod 18. Rod 18 will thenengage the arm and carry it for ward to actuate dog-ejector levers whichwill now be described.

Pendant from rod 29 are a plurality of dog-actuating levers which areshown arranged in pairs. Levers 49 and 50 serve to actuate nickelejector dogs, and compose the firstpair. A second pairof nickeldogactuating levers is indicated at 51 and 52.

A third pair 53 and 54, constitute the first dime dog-ejecting actuatinglevers and the fourth pair, 55 and 56 constitute the second Theforegoing several levers which directly engage the ejector dogs toactuate the same, are connected for selective operation by' thecoin-actuated arms 32 to 35 bywhat may be termed transfer arms, for thereason that motion is transferred from a coin-actuated lever located inone position to a dogactuating lever located in another position.

Detailing the foregoing arrangement, as shown, the half dollarcoin-actuated arm 35 is provided with a transfer extension or arm 59which is connected at 60 to quarter lever 57, at 61, to one of the dimelevers 56, at 62 to another of the dime levers 54, and at 63 to one ofthe nickel levers 49. This transfer arm 59, unlike the remainingtransfer arms, is rigidly connected to the half dollar lever 35 so thatit will always be moved upon actuation of lever 35. A transfer arm 64,is loosely mounted on rod 29 and has an abutment terminal which e'xtendsabreast of the quarter lever 34 for actuation thereby during movement oflever 34 in a clock-wise direction, but which is not actuated by lever34 in a contra-clock-wise direction. The transfer arm 64 is connected at65' with one of the dime levers 55, at 66 with one of the dime levers53, and at 67 with one of the nickel levers 51. Transfer arm 64 may betermed a free or single.

transfer arm, the same as transfer arm 59, which latter is more properlya rigid transfer arm. A transfer arm is indicated at 68 and islooselymounted on rod 29 and is provided with an abutment 69, whichextends abreast of lever 33, for movement by said lever in a clock-wisedirection, but not in a contra-clock-wise direction of movement of saidlever. The transfer arm 68 is connected at 71 with nickel lever 52 andat 72 with nickel lever 50. p

A plurality of dog-carrying and selective wheels are shown in the formof gears, arranged in a row and with adjacent gears in mesh wherebyadjacent gears will be operated in reverse direction with respect toeach other. The gears are indicated at 73, 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78, gears73 and 74 being the nickel wheels, gears 75 and 76 being dime wheels,gear, 77 a quarter wheel, and

gear 78 the half dollar wheel. Gear 78 meshes with a dial cog Wheel 79which is the actuator for the entire train of wheels.

At this point, it may be well to finish the description of the dialmechanism.

Dial cog 79 is mounted on a dial shaft 80 which is vertically journaledin the casing 1 andwhich carries at its upper end a manual operatingmember of finger wheel 81. An index 82 is mounted upon shaft 80 and isrotatable therewith abreast of dials, which in the present constructionare circular.

D The dials may be designated as a whole at pair of dunedog-actuatlnglevers. A single I quarter dog-actuatinglever is'indicatedat-57.

83 and may be described as having rows of indicating characters. Asshown, an outer circle of numerals'may be designated as the purchasechange row 84, the next row being the no sale change row 85, and thenext or innermost row the positioning characters 86.

In order that the purchaser mayobserve the amount of purchase for whichthe machine is set, a dial 87 may be mounted upon a shaft 88, suitablyjournaled to disclose numerals on the dial 87 to an opening 89 in thecasing, facing toward'the customer. The

' Fig. 9 may be considered the dogs are for radial operating double tailends, together with the shaft 88 may be driven from the dial shaft by agear 90, mounted on dial 87 and meshing with a gear 91 mounted on shaft88. Next, referring to the selective train of dogcarrying gears, it willbe seen that the same are mounted upon shafts 92 to 97, which arejournaled in the bottom of the casing 1, as clearly shown in Fig.

Each of-the selective gears, except the half dollar selective gear 78,carries a plurality of coin-ejecting dogs and the half dollar gear 78carries one coin-ejecting dog. I will first refer to the particularconstruction of the dogs and the manner in which they are mounted in thegears, references being made more particularly to Figs. 6, 7, 8 and 9. aradial section of any one of the gears taken adjacent to one of theejecting dogs, as for instance, gear 7 3, and inside of the teeththereof 1 provide a pivot 98 on which a dog 99 is mounted. A suitablerecess 100 is provided in the gears movement of the dog 99 with respectto the gear. A spring 101 normally holds the dog in the position shownin ,Fig. 9 but permits of ejecting movement of the dog with the upper,end moving radially outwardly and the lower end radially in'wardlv,with respect tov the pivot 98. The upper end of the dog 99 is bentforwardly, as indicated at 102, for projection through an opening 103 inthe coin holder or tube 13, which is shown more clearly in Fi 5. Thelower end of the tube 13 isprovided with a supporting bottom for thecoin stack-indicated at 104, and a forward opening 105 permits ofejection of a single, or in the present case, the lowermost coin of thestack, under action of the ejecting 'end 102- of the ejecting dog.Rearwardly of the ejecting opening 105, the tube 13 extends downwardlyas indicated at 106, for engagement with the, bottom wall 107 of thecasing 1. The bottom wall 107 merges into a delivering chute 108, whichis common to all of the coin tubes and which converges at 109 to collectthe ejected coins in a sufficiently restricted outlet to permit them tobe easily grasped throughthe opening 110'.

I will next describe the manner in which actuated and will first referto the construction of the actuating ends of the ejector dogs.

Some of the dogs have double'tailactuating portions, as indicated inFig. 6, at 111- and 112, mounted upon the lower end of a dog. which maybe' designated at 113. Dog 99 has a single tail-actuating end 114, whichprojects in one direction. Dog 115 has a single tail-actuating end 116WhlCh projects in a direction opposite to the direction of projection oftail 114. Pairs of levers are provided for actuating the dogs and thealternately projecting single tail ends and the difierential dispositionand varying number of the dogs on the several selector wheels, permit ofvaried adjustment of the selector wheels to obtain selective engagementof ejector dogs. Referring to Figs. 2 and 10, itwill be seen that thedogs 99 are disposed on nickel wheel 73 in different spaced relationwith respect to thedisposition of dogs 117 on nickel wheel 74. Likewise,dogs 118 on dime wheel 75 and dogs 119 on dime wheel 76 are differentlyspaced with respect to each other, and like wise the spacing of the dogson any one wheel with respect to each other varies as regards all of thedogs. A majority of the dogs 118 are equally spaced apart from eachother but the remaining greater distance from its companion dogs. Dogs119 on wheel 76 are uniformly spaced with respect to each other anddivided into groups. All of the dogs 120 on wheel 77 are.

shown equally spaced. In addition to the variable number and spacing ofthe dogs, some of the same will have double tail-actuating portions andthe others single tailactuating portions.

Each of the dog-actuating levers 49 to-57 is provided with bent endsextending beneath the selective wheels and through guides, as indicatedat 121, in Fig. 3, the terminals of said ends being lipped or bent asindicated at 122 to extend into the path of one of the tails projectinglate-rally from one of the dogs. The bent ends of the dog-actuatinglevers are shown in dotted lines in Figs. 6, 7, 8 and 9. Thus in Fig. 6,both of the terminal ends will engage the double-tailed dog 113 whereasin Fig. 7 only the left-hand lever will engage the left-hand dog 114 andthe right-hand lever will miss engagement. In Fig. 8 the right-handlever will engage the right-hand projecting tail 116 whereas theleft-hand actuating lever will miss engagement with dog 115. The dogsare engaged by retractive movement of the dogactuating levers and suchretractive movement of the dog-actuating levers is efi'ected by and uponmovement of the coin-actuated arm. Thus if coin actuated arm 33 isthrust forwardly, it willstrike the abutment 69 of the transfer arm, 68which will transfer movement of a retractive nature or in a retractiveor rearward direction, to nickel levers 50 and 52. If the quarter arm 34is actuated, it will engage abutment 65 of the transfer arm 64 andtransfer movement to dime dog-actuating levers 55, 53, and nickel lever51. If the half dollar arm 35 is actuated its transfer arm 59 willoperate the quarter dogactuating lever 57, dime dog lever 56 and 54 andnickel lever actuating 49. Transfer arms 59. 64 and 69, as will be seenmore particularly in Fig. 3, are in spaced relation with respect to eachother-so that movement of one can be effected without actuating another,and likewise the dog- I &

actuating levers with which transfer arms are connected, are inclinedaccordingly.

I have now described the operative connection whereby the amount ofpurchase can be taken out of the amount of deposit, so that the changecan be refunded or returned to the purchaser. The detail description ofthis operation, as regards particular arrangement, will be describedlater on in connection with the diagram shown.

I will next describe the operative means whereby a no sale adjustmentcan be effected to obtain change of the desired amount, consisting ofmore than one coin and also of coins of different denominations.

A spring-controlled no sale change key is provided for each of the arms33 to 35 and are i n licatedat 126 to 128. Each key isspring-controlled, as indicated at 132 to 134 in order to hold the keysin the position shown; The shanks of the keys, as indicated at 138-to140 project downwardly into the i casing and their lower ends are guidedby brackets, one being indicated at 141 in Fig. 3'. Each key shank iscottered, as at 142 to an arm 143 of a no change lever 144. The nochange lever 144, of each key, is loosely mounted upon a rod 145 whichis suitably mounted in the casing 1. The no change levers are adapted toengage the coin-actuated arm, as illustrated in Fig. 3, lever 141 beingin engagement with arm 33. When one of the keys is depressed it willdepress its respective coin-actuated arm to bring the hook 37 into thepath of rod 18 so that when rod 18 is moved to its full stroke theselective dog-actuating lever will be operated to actuate the dogejectors and eject coins for no sale change of the denomination forwhich the machine has been set. It will thus be seen that I can set themachine for returning the change due from the amount of purchase,through coin selection of dog-actuated mechanism, and I can also set themachine for operation of such dog mechanism through no sale changemeans.

In some cases it may be desirable to withdraw a single coin of onedenomination, or a plurality of coins of one denomination, Wltl1- outnecessitating the operation through main operating rod 18. In thisevent, I provide coin withdrawing means which may comprise withdrawingrods 146 to 151, which are slidable through the front wall of the casing1 and which are provided with buttons on their outer ends, for manualoperation. Movement of the inner ends of the rods 146 to 151 is directedby guides 152 to 157 and the terminal ends of the rods are bent to liein the path of any operative dogs that are in position for ejecting acoin, as indicated at 157 to 162. As will be seen more particularly byreference to Fig. 3, the terminal end 160 lies abreast of the lower endof the dog and may actuate the same by abutment against the operativeend 122 of the dog-actuating lever, to transmit motion therethrough tothe dog. However, it Will be clear, that by pushing any one of thewithdrawing rods or keys 146 to 151, single coins of a givendenomination will be withdrawn from their coin tubes, through actuationof the dogs, and discharged into the coin chute 108. At this point, itmay be stated, that some of the withdrawing keys or rods 146 to 151 arenot in operative engagement with ejector dogs because the ejector dogsof some of the wheels are not in an inoperative position. In connectionwith the description relating to the operation as shown in thediagrammatic figure, it will be seen how the selective wheels 73 to 78can be moved into a position so that each wheel will present one dog inan operative position for operation by said withdrawing keys.

I will next refer to Figs. 10 and ll'to describe the operativecombinations that may be obtained to deduct the change due, from theamount of deposit, with respect to the amount of purchase. First,referring to the dials shown in Fig. 11, it will be seen that the sameare graduated or divided to set the dog-carrying gears in elevenpositions, indicated in the setting row or circle 86 by numerals 0 to10. The rims of the wheels 73 to 78 have been developed to dispose thedogs carried thereby with double or single and alternately projectingtail ends disposed in the position which they would assume if the wheelswere set in accordance with position numerals O to 10. In order tofacilitate identification of the wheels 73 to 7 8, coin holders 11 to 16have been shown in diagram. The dog-actuating levers 45) to 57 arediagrammatically indicated together with their connections through thetransfer arms 59, 64 and 68 and the abutments 65, 69 and 70. In zero or0 position, one coinejecting dog of each wheel will be in an operativeposition for ejecting a single coin of each of the denominations held inthe tubes. In this position, the index 82 will be adjusted as shown inFig. 11. In such adjustment, any one of the withdrawing keys 146 to 151could be actuated and they would operate a dog for ejecting a coin ofthe denomination with which such withdrawing key is marked. Furthermore,in the 0 position, the no sale change keys 126 to 128 could be actuatedso that any desired number or one coin from each tube could be withdrawnto consummate a delivery of change, without a purchase. Thus if it weredesired to obtain ten cents worth of change in the form of two nickels,key 126 could be depressed and the main rod 18 shifted and the shiftingof the main rod would cause actuation of arm 33, to transfer or transmitmotion through transfer arm 68 to nickel lever 52 taut/air and nickellever 50. Thus only the hook of the arm 33 would come into the pathofwould be depressed so as to swing arm 34 into the path of rod 18 andarm 34 would engage abutment of transfer arm 64 and thereby actuate dimelevers 55 and 53 and nickel lever 51, causing the respective dogs toeject two dimes and a nickel. If it were desired to obtain fifty centsworth of change, key 128 would be depressed and transfer arm 59 which isrigidly secured to arm 35 would actuate quarter'lever 57, dime levers 56and 54, and nickel lever 49.

Assuming that it was desired to make a fifteen-cent purchase with adeposit of a fifty cent coin, the shaft 80 would be turned, by 81, toposition index 82 abreast of the numeral 15, of the ing wheels toposition 3. Now by depositing fifty cents at 7, the arm-35 would be setfor operation of the rod 18 and the transfer arm 59 would be actuated tocause movement of all of the dog-actuating levers with which thetransfer arm is connected to transmit motion. However, by referring toposition 3, of Fig. 10, it will be seen that one of the dime Wheel dogswould be out of position for actuation by lever 54 whereas the next dimedog would be in position for actuation b lever 56. The dog of thequarter Wheel 77 would be in position for actuation by lever 57 and thusthirty-five cents, consisting of a twenty-five-cent piece and atomcentpiece, would be'ejected. Assuming that it was desired to make afifteen-cent purchase with a twenty-five cent deposit, then theadjustment would not be disturbed from the third position, but atwenty-fivecent piece would be placed in 6 tov cause the rod 18 toactuate coin-selected 'arm 34. Movement of arm 34 against the abutment65 would only cause actuation of one of the dogs in the third positionthereby ejecting ten cents in change. When the machine is,

set for a no sale change vdelivery of coins, the index 82 is movedabreast of the numeral in the intermediate or no sale change column orcircle and it will be seen that if the index 82 is moved to a positionfor five cents in change, which is position 9, only one of the nickellevers Wil be actuated. 4

Parts 30, a1, 32, it; 4.7, 48, 23, 24. and 25 are without function inthis particular construction'but operate in connection with an imrovement which will be filed.

' t is believed that the advantages and .op-
